REVENGE GAME vs. San Diego

[BWahlberg]

I remember this game like it was yesterday. The responsibility for this loss (and the 0-10 season record) rests solely on the shoulders of then UM President Ronald "Rusty" Anderson who in 1957 inexplicably fired the highly popular Coach Stanton "Scoop" O'Malley. Unfortunately, President Adams never revealed the reason for the dismissal.

If this isn't nominated for post of the year then I don't know what should be.

Some thought it might be because Scoop (alias Jerry Williams) was 6-23 in his 3 years and that things would have to get better with coaching change. But the Missoulian rogue reporter probably nailed it when they accused Scoop of discriminating against Beatniks, which incited significant faculty pressure on the President.

HA HA!! That's awesome, Kem! If I'm not mistaken that reporter was the one and only Chad "Honey Bear" Olson, cub reporter for the Missoulian.

The refs screwed us.

They didn't use replay back then. Hell, they didn't have TVs either.

Yeah, but I saw the play clearly on the radio. We got hosed.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1958 NCAA University Division football season was notable in that it was the first to feature the two-point conversion. On January 13, 1958, the 11-man NCAA Rules Committee unanimously approved a resolution to allow teams to choose between kicking an extra point after a touchdown, or running or passing from the 3-yard line for 2 points. University of Michigan athletic director Fritz Crisler said at the meeting in Fort Lauderdale, "It's a progressive step which will make football more interesting for the spectators," adding that the rule "will add drama to what has been the dullest, most stupid play in the game."[3]

I say we go for two after every touchdown in honor of the anniversary!
